Your link doesn't work. It points to example.com

Link is dead, but frankly probably unneeded.

  1. Buy a meshtastic radio. Heltec v3 on Amazon is under $25 and a good one to start.
  2. once you get it, plug it into the computer, go to https://flasher.meshtastic.org/ and pick your radio and flash it.
  3. Once it finishes, use the meshtastic mobile app to pair to it and set your region
  4. thats it!

It’s dead simple to get started and a fun little side project.
